Museums that have done their homework know... Using a Digital Scan-Back results in the highest quality image scanning available today.  For many years museums across the country have been acquiring a digital database of important art and documents by scanning existing 4x5 and 35mm transparencies. Although these digital images are sufficient for in-house and website use, they are not of high enough quality for print reproduction.

   The problem with an A3 flatbed scanner is that many original images and documents are larger than the scanning surface of the scanner. This results in the necessity to stitch together the images after scanning... A VERY LABOR INTENSIVE PROCESS. Using a Digital Scan-Back results in a higher resolution image at a fraction of the labor cost.
